We had left Calgary to go to Newfoundland 2 years ago. Stephens family is from St. Johns Newfoundland they had been trying to get us to move down for some time. "Come and try it out , and if you don't like it you can always go back"! Let me tell you that was the worst mistake we had made and wished we could turn back time. We had sold our home in Mckenzie Town right before the big boom! We did not expect Calgary’s market to explode the way it did. We thought we could come back and by another house and it would not be a big deal.

Dear Creations by Shane Homes

We had been seriously watching the housing market for a couple of years, constantly watching the cost of houses rise. There were times when we had doubts that as first time buyers, trying to get into the market, if we’d be able to afford to purchase a home right away after I was finished my post secondary education.

I had always been told by friends and acquaintances how stressful building a new home is and how aggravating the overall experience would be. We are very pleased to say that from the moment we spoke to the Silverado sales team, Cheryl MacLeod and Ron Kerr, until now (a mere two months away from our possession date!), our experience has been nothing but pleasant, enjoyable and downright exciting.

Her genuine concern for our wants and needs, her dedication in finding out every tidbit of information that we required, her commitment to going the extra mile to satisfy our goals and making our home building experience a positive one has been a major contributor to our overall experience. Cheryl and Ron eve... [more]
